Is it me, or are people just dancing to Apple's fiddle? I've seen this same type of post several times, but it doesn't apply to me...or most people I know most likely.

I hold a phone across my fingers, tucked nicely under the top of my palm. I can reach across a 4" screen without a problem.

Also, when I'm holding a phone vertically, I don't typically only use my thumb - I use my other, more dexterous, and more "free", hand.

Wait...maybe the people this applies to are busy with their other hand?

One-handed use is important for circumstances where you are carrying a bag with the other hand (like when you have to deal with luggage at the airport).

After seeing some of my friends struggle with the 5, I'm not going to upgrade (my 4S works just fine :)
